Phone call between Media Defender and the New York Attorney's office discussing leaked email and their efforts to entrap file sharing users with a fake torrent company, miivi.com.
Voices are easily identified and the phone call is consistent with the public record. Leaked emails on the same subject are discussed here: http://torrentfreak.com/mediadefender-emails-leaked-070915/
Description (as provided by the original submitter):
MediaDefender, hired by the RIAA, created a fake torrent company called Miivi.com. This network, they created and promoted to get ordinary people to upload videos on the network. Then MediaDefender planned to go and sue those people for copyright infringement.
This is the telephone conversation with the NY Attorney General's office where they discuss how to keep their operation top secret, what's going on with the email servers, and how to keep everything "pristine" for court and law enforcement.
This is why it's dubious: it is applied fascism. This is the collusion of the corporation with the state for the sole purpose of making money for the corporation. The RIAA and MediaDefender together created a fake company for the sole purpose of "farming" lawsuits from ordinary music listeners under the guise of sharing music peer-to-peer.
When you're a corporation, or when you work for a corporation, and your only source of income is from creating lawsuits to prosecute, it seems to me you are creating crime for payment - a pimp.
